Question

I have tried using the following solution to print from Excel to PDF:

Excel 2013 Print to PDF in VBA

While the solution seems to have worked for other people

Answer 1

Another cause of this error is if the filename contains illegal characters such as:

• < (less than)
• > (greater than)
• : (colon)
• " (double quote)
• / (forward slash)
• \ (backslash)
• | (vertical bar or pipe)
• ? (question mark)
• * (asterisk)

See 'Naming conventions' here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/naming-a-file

Solution: replace illegal characters with legal ones, such as '_'.
